"Nice way to head into Thanksgiving break," said head coach Steve Lanpher.  "I thought we defended well and were really unselfish on the offensive end as we had 20 assists.  Kylie and Teniyah got us off to a fast start and Yanessa directed our offense.  I thought our post were really active tonight especially Abbie & Brooklyn. We have so much depth that it was great to get everyone in the game.  What a special moment for Angel Crowder who played in her first collegiate game as a sophomore!!!"

Randolph returns to the court on Sunday as they travel to Shenandoah to face the defending conference champions. Game time will be at 2:30 p.m.
